Binomial, Poisson and Normal Distributions
Problem’s:
2. A car hire firm has 2 cars which it hires out day by day. The number of demands for
a car on each day follows a Poisson distribution with mean 1.5. Write down the R code
to compute the proportion of days on which (i). neither car is used, (ii). at most one
car is used and (iii). some demand of car is notfulfilled.
3. The local corporation authorities in a certain city install 10,000 electric lamps in the
streets of the city with the assumption that the life of lamps is normally distributed. If
these lamps have an average life of 1,000 burning hours with a standard deviation of
200 hours, then write down the R code to calculate the number of lamps might be
expected to fail in the first 800 burning hours and also the number of lamps might be
expected to fail between 800 and 1,200 burninghours.
